[@3AwesomeLetsPlayers]

Man Nolly did fucking work on this track. He's such a kickass guitarist alongside his bassplaying!

[@Drewski914]

is there a video of nolly writing this? I'm just curious how people know which member write which riff. I mean these guys play so much together it's hard to tell. Everyone thinks Mark wrote the Omega intro, it was really nolly. shit even Spencer plays guitar.

[@hamon_master1390]

+Drewski914 if you watch there studio update nollys playing it but plus mark holcomb had an hour long live stream and said he basically wrote all the riffs for this song.

[@Drewski914]

+Andrew Record right on, I haven't had a chance to watch much of the studio updates and what not for PIII but sometimes it just seems like people just assume oh Mark wrote this riff or Misha wrote this riff, blah blah blah, when they really didn't. It really doesn't matter though, it's a group effort in writing an album. This song fucking rocks though. I'm really digging everything they have released so far on p3.

[@Andy1119]

you can kinda tell if you follow the guitarists you kinda get to know their individual styles and can kinda pick out bits that are most likely theirs

[@stijnbos7614]

Nolly also mentioned on facebook upon releasing this song that it was one of the songs he has had most input in. Besides that they showed a little instagram clip of him playing the intro riff. Either way, all 3 guitarists have their own distinct style, and for fans/guitarists who are a little familiar with them it's sometimes very obvious who wrote a certain part.

[@krazykalle4518]

At first I thought "Yeah cool, nice Song, love this Band, the album kicks ass!", but then the chorus started. Just Goosebumps, literally.

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

That chorus is tasty

[@sickotessa]

So I met Jake two days ago at the guitar clinic he's currently doing in South America and he literally told me and my boyfriend that this song is about being drunk 😂 now everything makes sense. Spencer is so complex with his lyrics, would've never thought about it.

[@PlumpedUpRaptorJesus]

It's funny, considering he's the vocalist for my favourite band of all time you would think the lyrics he sang would matter to me but they literally never have. I'm here for the harsh vocal technique and his pretty sounding melodies. Every lyric of periphery's could be swapped out with "Duck" and I'd still think all of their songs were bangers. 😅 But tbf, look at the lyrics to Totla Mad from their EP: "Strip away all the excess components Unveil a picture one sought to hide Personalities are like fiction The derivative truth but with no substance Violence and hate Nourishment territory and mate We are the product of some experiment While most live in ignorance Some can't accept" Like... that could mean anything, or at least a good amount of things but it's never really clarified any further. A lot of the time I feel like they're just saying vaguely metal sounding words cause it sounds good and no one's really keeping score haha

[@Kaiveran]

Another day pulls me down to my knees and Holds the gun to my fucking head Can't feel a thing Prayer position holding my life above the muck Oh god, I'm speaking in swirling bowls Now the walls are laughing in silence I'm spiraling down to the floor Can't feel a thing I can taste it eating me down to the core When will it end? When is it over? When can I live? The bar is held down on my throat Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole Down in a hole Take away misery tomorrow Shine the light and end this dimming glow Take away misery tomorrow Shine the light to end this dimming glow The day is gone Now turns the night Our bodies glow ever so bright The crash is done We reach new highs Our bodies glow ever so bright Venture through these eyes Venture through these eyes and lose all time Scratch the itch and murder the body for pleasure Sparking it up Breathing the fire we crave Guzzle it down Feeling the sparkle together Ante it up and blow me away for the high Let's go What are we doing and where have the morals all gone? Now is the time This is the feeling we treasure You won't remember, but goddamnit it's fine The bar is held down on my throat Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole Take away misery tomorrow Shine the light and end this dimming glow Take away misery tomorrow Shine the light to end this dimming glow Stomp my head, throw it down in a hole Stomp on my heart Let's go (Blow me away, let's go)

I agree man. I'm still a fan of theirs and respect them but their music just doesn't resonate with me like it used to. Maybe I burned myself out on their music.

[@PlumpedUpRaptorJesus]

My cousin and I have talked about this quite a bit. We're both sort of in agreement that everything from Bulb writing riffs before Periphery became a thing, up until for him PIII and for me PIV... it's like almost 100% gold. Banger after banger and my life literally would be different if I'd never heard them. Listened to every song in that bracket literally >1400 times. Then everything after Reptile? I can't explain how much I WANT to like it the way I like their other stuff but I just.... can't. It just doesn't move me like the other songs do. In fact they don't move me at all I'd almost go as far as to say they sound boring and samey. It makes me sad. :(
